“so you want to see dead police?” Oh geez, not this crap again. The Following is Sarcasm: Yes Yorlik803 I have always wanted to see dead police. I am looking on the internet for snuff videos right now. The Preceding was Sarcasm.
1. Yes everyone and I mean everyone should own a semi auto, mag fed carbine. The Second Amendment requires that we be able to defend ourselves.
2. I said if the city of El Paso wants to buy the weapons without federal money fine, do that.
3. On a personal level I want the government less well armed than me. Because I don’t trust the government to have more power than me. The police are the strong arm of the government.
That’s not really all that controversial is it?

“Civilian version” is the 16” barrel, semi-auto, not a bad price at all. Looking at GT Dist. site, it’s a Bushmaster. Looks like typical LE price to me...

If they need the firepower okay. But why buy such a lousy rifle?

What? This isn't your daddy's M16A1 from Nam, these have evolved into pretty reliable weapons.

They could buy some of the very fine piston operated models. I was never happy with my M16, as it was pretty good through the first 3 mags, then got hot and unreliable. I believe that the gas piston on like the POF model would solve the problem. My next AR will be gas piston. (I know, lots of controversy on this issue).

I wish they would buy built 6.8SPC M4 configured rifles that way there would more 6.8 ammo in production. I want to buy an upper in 6.8 but it’s hard to find ammo and I don’t reload as of yet.

Like I said, get a mid-length upper and many of your problems will be solved.

Not really sure about the need for an M-4 in every car, but $674.80 per rifle is at least a reasonable price.And the reason I can't get this price even if I buy 10 is because?????

There is 75gr and 77gr loads out there that are pretty devastating.
I've been thinking about getting a FAL, but I've read that parts quality has gone down the last couple of years. DSARMS has some nice STGs

Back in the Clinton Administration, our wonderful president destroyed thousands of M14 Rifles. This was stupidity squared, but not untypical of Bill Clinton.
I said at the time that the government could give these weapons to Law Enforcement at no cost. They could have been modified to be semi automatic for law enforcement purposes. If the police in the North Hollywood shootout had had just one of these rifles, the whole incident would have been over in no time.
These would be good weapons for our law enforcement at no charge. Now the police (tax payers) are going to have to pay top dollar for M4. What a waste Bill Clinton was.

If you add to that a population coming back from an extremely violent environment integrating with the civilian population, we want to make sure that the police department has all the resources it needs to make us the safest city in the nation.Incompetano would be sooooo proud. They read her memo. They really did.

It’s all in good fun.
I did carry the M16A1 in Nam, not my Daddy. So I can’t get over the experience and will never trust those suckers. However, seriously, if the police want firepower over drug gangs and body armor then I think they would be better off with M1As. The .308 is far more devastating and auto-fire is way overrated anyhow. Aimed .308 AP fire would put down gangbangers in pretty short order IMHO.

Nearly all police sniper shots have been under one hundred yards, so this rifle is just fine for those intermediate distances between pistol and a dedicated sniper rifle.
I have never heard of anyone who has been shot with 5.56 saying it didn’t hurt.
The females in our department prefer it over the shottie because of felt recoil.
